Students will learn about the secret lives of the insects that live under the water. Which insect predators liquefy and remove the insides of their prey leaving just the exoskeleton? Which insects eat mosquitoes their whole life? Why should we all be familiar with which insects live in our local waters? Students will explore the answers to these questions while seeing live macro invertebrates projected on a big screen through an LCD projector. This program is presented by The Audubon Center of the North Woods. Please, no pets.

(We will depart promptly at 7:15 PM.) Discover the wonders of the backwaters of the Mississippi River by moonlight on this guided paddle. Bring your own canoe/kayak, or rent one of ours.
